What hot meal do Santa's reindeer eat when they want to warm up, despite its extremely cold-sounding name?
Chili
This pun plays on the homophones 'chili' (the spicy, hot bean and meat stew) and 'chilly' (a word describing cold winter temperatures). Even though the dish sounds like freezing snow weather, it actually serves to heat up hungry reindeer.
